I recently had a routine CBC done and noticed my monocyte count is a bit high. The normal range is supposed to be 3.0 to 7.0, but mine came back at 7.9. Should I be worried about this? I did the test in the evening after fasting for 14 hours. Could that have affected the results?

Is it a problem to have low platelets during pregnancy? My platelet count is currently at 1 lakh.

I'm seeing terms like "blast," "abn lympo," and "NRBC" in my CBC report, and I'm a bit worried about what they mean. I'm also experiencing body pain but no fever. What do these results indicate? I've attached my blood test report for reference. Can you help me understand if there's anything serious going on?

Question

I recently found out that my ferritin levels are at 9.78 ngmL, which seems to be lower than the normal range. I'm a 41-year-old female and I'm starting to get worried. I'm considering consulting a hematologist for advice on safe iron supplements to help increase my levels. Are there any specific supplements or dietary changes I should consider? Is there cause for concern with levels this low?
